这张DVD是1998年九月在著名的卡内基音乐厅所主办的一场演唱会实况录像。从片子的名字就可以看出，参与演出的都是那些在百老汇音乐剧舞台上风光无限的女明星们。尽管从演唱会的人员名单上我们没有发现伯纳德彼得丝(Bernadette Peters)、依莲佩姬(Elaine Page)等无可争议的天后巨星，但朱迪安德鲁斯、李萨明里尼、林达伊德等名角的登场断不会让整台演唱会名不符实。总之，如果你对百老汇著名女演员的名字和她们演唱的曲目十分熟悉，那么这张DVD就是特别为你制作的；否则，台下观众接二连三的鼓掌欢呼一定会把你搞得莫名其妙。

This six part documentary miniseries presents the evolution of the Broadway musical from its inception in 1893 to current day 2004. It presents those influential players both on stage and behind the scenes, as well as a variety of influential Broadway shows, a handful which are known to have transformed the musical into what the audience knows it to be today. The Broadway musical was often a reflection of what was happening in the world, but almost as often was meant to be an escape from problems of the world. Specific world events had a profound influence on the overall tone of Broadway shows, some of these events being wars (especially the world wars), Prohibition, the stock market crash and the Great Depression, and 9/11. Broadway musicals were also affected by the onset on various new media, such as talking movies and television. They in turn influenced other popular culture, especially what was known as the popular music of the day, especially up until the 1960s. Broadway musicals ultimately would become global commodities with many shows beginning their life elsewhere besides the New York, and many Broadway shows brought to the world stages through touring companies, regional productions and amateur productions.
